This award-winning comedian and former Canadian freestyle-wrestler, Dan Joffre, is an accomplished actor with a unique ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Using lightening-fast wit, signature improvisational singing, colourful characters, sketches and stand up routines, Dan's comedic visions are brought to life.

Historically speaking…

After the Atlanta Olympic trials, Dan jumped off the Montreal wrestling mat and onto the Vancouver entertainment stage fulltime. Versatile in both dramatic and comedic acting, Dan has become an internationally recognized actor, working both as an actor in the TV/film industry and as a live improv comedian on the public stage and in the corporate world.

In 2004, as a veteran of over 1800 improv comedy shows, Dan, along with his wife Azuure, established That’s Hilarious Entertainment, an umbrella company dedicated to producing and headlining both public and custom corporate comedy events year round. Recently honoured the Canadian Comedy Award for 'Male Improviser of the Year', Dan is also a 2x Montreal Just for Laughs World Improv Champion.
